Hello,
My forms strat to be intersting (for me)...
And datas are stored in the database (great).

[list]When I add the date picker (required value), if I'm not choosing date with date picker (and I add manually a date) I have a message "required file".

The textareas fields are not stored in the database.

If I add a file (it is on the webserver), but not send in the email.[/list]

J1.5.26 / ChronoForm 4.0 RC3.21

Hi oweb,

Please upgrade to RC3.3 as there are some bugfixes.

Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Hello Bob,
Updated... thank's

Problems are the same.
You can see the form here:

For the textarea datas, I altered the database: now I collect datas...

If I can't send the file upload file by email, is it possible to add the file link?
(I'm using the "Safe File name" option)

Hi oweb,

Yes you should be able to add a link, or attach the file.

Thank's,
how to grab the link?

Hi oweb,

From the Help tab on the CSV Export [GH] action:

The Action generates several outputs: a file saved to the server in the specified folder; and three new form data items {csv_link}, {csv_count} and {csv_size}. These give you a full URL for the new file and the number of records exported. You can use these in later actions like Emails or Thank You messages to allow access to the file.

Bob

Works very well!

Thank you very much 😀

I'm using 4.0 RC3.3 and have everything working except the textarea storage in the db. The form sends the input text via E-mail, but is not storing in the db. All other information is stored in the db. I've changed the field in the db to VARCHAR, LONGTEXT and back to text - nothing works. I noticed oweb was having that issues, from what I gathered, and there doesn't seem to be a resolve. I've looked through a lot of information both related and not related to Chronoforms, but the only thing I came across was $submit_content could be added to the Php. I haven't gone through the files in Chronoform, but it seems this is an issue that's fairly new and you guys are working on a resolve. Is that true?
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

It turns out that I found the problem.
Chronoforms is not creating the textarea field by bringing it from the form created over into the list of fields when the "Table" is created. If you create that field manually before saving the table everything will work just fine. Since there are plenty of extra fields, simply input the field name (input_textarea_?? whatever number you have in your form), make it a TEXT field, then save your table. Be sure to "drop" the table you have in the db currently so that there are no conflicts.
I see the most recent entries in the db and in the "Data" in Chronoforms, and all information, including the textarea is included.

Hi LTCreations,

Odd, in my experience ChronoForms finds text areas and adds them to the Create Table list OK. The main problem that we've seen is that inputs without the type attribute aren’t found. Good to hear that you fixed this though.

Bob

Hi LTCreations,

As Bob mentioned, Chronoforms find all the fields names automatically, unless you are using a custom form code and it's not following the standards.

Please show us a code snippet ?
